#2 Taxes didn't increase for."the war," but the government spends.more mo ey than ever even if a smaller part than ever actually goes to the military. We make stuff in this country less than ever. The I duztry I was in is imploding even while e eryone talks about how sucessful it is.

#3 Damn phone.

Anyway, you could argue that the closest thing we have to a victory is the "fracking revolution,"/which has more to do with directional drilling than it does with fracking. And it's.only because.our government hasn't figured out a.way to throw.it away yet.

#6 Thing, Next chance you get, check the composition of the drill crew. Or the ownership or seamen on the oil tanker.
Watch the refinery workforce as they go in the plant.
Who owns and operates the local quickie gas station?
